Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: November 11, 2025

Purpose:

Content: Planning permission refused due to the following reason:   The proposal fails to provide the necessary level of off-street car parking further exacerbating existing parking issues in the immediate area. The overly intensive use of the building because of the number of perspective residents mean that an inadequate amount of amenity space can be provided to support the proposed use of the building. Additionally, the intensive use of the building will have a detrimental impact on the impact of the first-floor occupant of the building because of noise and disturbance caused by the proposed use. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies BNE1 and ST4 of the Chorley Local Plan (2015), and Paragraph 135(f) of the National Planning Policy Framework.
